/ about me

Hi, I'm Vlad. I live in Lausanne and I love life, food, art and technology.

Currently, I'm leading the Swisscom Digital Lab at EPFL. Previously, I was co-founder and chief of product officer atEVRYTHNG, a startup that makes products smart. In previous lives, I built acoustic sensor systems to help biologists study bird communication in the forests of Mexico and California; neural models of sensory-motor coordination for humanoid robots in Japan; or urban computing platforms to collect and analyze massive amounts of real-time data in Singapore. My forté is making interactive physical objects that connect to the Web and I learned my trade as an engineer and researcher at MIT, UCLA, SAP and EPFL. I graduated with a PhD in computer science from ETH Zurich, but no need to call me "doc".

So if you love food and travel, browse around! Otherwise you'll find more technical stuff on my social networks, particularly on my tumblr feed or on my technology page.
